Does the easement allowing certain railcard holders to travel with off-peak tickets on peak-time VT services still exist, and if so does it extend to the Two Together railcard please? Thanks!

I was on a service from Stratford to Tottenham Hale last week and saw one of the new Eurostar sets in what I assume was Temple Mills depot. I assume this is for driver & crew training purposes for now. Does anyone know when they'll start in passenger service?

http://www.networkrail.co.uk/news/2014/feb/Electrifying-the-railway-across-Britain-moves-a-step-closer/ There are 6 geographic framework contracts: Southern region: AmeyInabensa Central (London North Western, South) region: ABC Central (East Midlands) region: CarillionPowerlines Central...

Just a thought, would it make sense for the Watford DC line between Euston and Queen's Park to be converted to OHLE AC? It'd eliminate the requirement for all of the dual voltage infrastructure in and around Euston (instead just having a changeover in the platforms at Queen's Park). Same applies...

I've noticed a loud noise, somewhere between a "spang" and a "thung" from somewhere around the pantograph on both the LO 378s when running on AC and then again more recently on a GA 379. Has anyone else heard this? Any clues as to what it is? Is it normal/expected behaviour? Request to Mod...

Is it possible to buy tickets to or from a zone boundary online? I've tried from all of the websites that I can think of and been unable to.

In light of the ICWC franchise tendering farce and the general feeling that the whole set up is designed to fleece the punters and the DfT I've posted up an e-Petition asking that as each of the TOC franchises expire they be handed to DOR, thus returning the operation of the principal rail...

The East-West consortium envisages that the principal services we'll see from the Oxford to Bedford reopening are: Reading-Oxford-Bletchley-Bedford Marylebone-Princes Risborough-Aylesbury-Bletchley-Milton Keynes...

I know the explanation of why 3rd rail DC and OH 25kV AC can't coexist for long sections (cheers to everyone who has patiently explained this one in the other threads about the Basingstoke-Southampton upgrade to AC) but I was thinking about the shared NR/LU sections, Harrow-Amersham in...
